    Do you know that a well ironed pillowcase over the head can take care of that
    very quickly,..you need not suffer more bad presents.

    Hi dadie
    It's a small lawn so the tiniest little flymo would do.

    I'm getting worried now with all these stories of cable cut in half...

    It's just that everyone in the world seems to have an electric lawn mower...except me.

    Hi Helen,

    Better safe than sorry I reckon!

    Actually, my balance is so bad that every time I am near a cliff's edge I know how much he loves me...
    .....he could so easily just push me off and everyone would buy into the accident theory!

    Isn't love wonderful!

    Me neither, the words 'iron' and 'superb' do not belong in the same sentence!

    Seek help!

    My worst present ever must have been a complete set of 50's,60's,70's and 80's hits...now I know you are all thinking thats not such a bad present BUT it was in the 80's and I was 16 at the time I couldn't believe my new boyfriend could buy me such a naff prezzie!Mind you now I would love most of the songs on it so maybe he knew me better than I knew myself x
    The nice thing about living in a small place is that if you dont know what you are doing....there's always somebody who does,or thinks they do! x

    Well it is my 10th wedding anniversary today, and my darling Dave, just bought me a lovely 45 foot flat top semi trailer.

    But my dad got my mum a dozen chooks once, and she got him a extration fan for the kitchen for his birthday

    Bought my other half a steam press [not as a pressie] just thought it,d help her out. turned out she didnt like using it ,thought that hand ironing was faster.
    Ended up giving it to my son who.se separated. now he reckon,,s it,s the bussiness. Cut,s his pressing chores down to a fraction of the time & never singes anything. just goe,s to show ,different strokes for different folk,s.

    Could have swore hubbys org name wasn't dunderheed, but maybe I'm wrong, but then you missed out the chainsaw, the table saw, the bench saw and the circular saw, so maybe ok

    Car respray for an anniversary present, Dotz alloy wheels for Christmas and a Birthday, and a set of tyres for another christmas and birthday for my car.

    Recently my other half who had upgraded his car to a newer one than mine suggested mine be sold and we manage with one................well ok, but would you give away or sell a necklace, earrings and watch I had been given so readily?...............Needless to say I still have my car, which is just as well as his one failed to start on the way to a hospital appointment on Monday, so my "useless" surplus to requirement vehicle saved the day!

    i got a tv aerial once. i'm just resigned now to the fact that men buy useful presents instead of frivolous stuff - if i want any of that i buy it myself

    I have a small lawn (55m2) and I was going to get one of those flymos but I decided on a NEW push one, light weight and fast - the lawn is done before you could get the cable untangled.
